Living in Luxembourg: Focus on the Municipality of Weiswampach

Moving to Weiswampach

Situated on a vast territory of 35 km², nicely hilly (and culminating at 538 m), natural spaces are the first wealth of the commune. However, families have at their disposal services perfectly adapted to the requirements of the 21st century...

→ Educational and commercial infrastructures

In terms of schools, basic education is provided thanks to four classes (three for children in cycles 1.1 and 1.2 and one for children in early education). A bus offers transport for pupils living in the villages and, for those living in town, a “pedibus” has also been set up: guides accompany the children on their way to school from one neighbourhood to another. For secondary education, the nearest secondary school is in Clervaux, 15 km from the town. In addition, Weiswampach has a “maison relais” and a crèche.

As far as senior citizens are concerned, the peaceful nature of the locality has justified the establishment of dedicated homes and residences. Families moving to the municipality will also note that it has a medical centre.

Regarding services, local shops that rely on the short circuit allow you to do your daily purchases. But as far as shopping is concerned, we should also mention the Shopping-Centre created in the village of Massen, which includes 40 shops (ready-to-wear, decoration, household arts...), several restaurants, and points of sale of artisanal and local products. When we tell you that here, everything is within reach, or almost!

→ Nature, sports and cultural activities

The authentic character of this town located on a plateau near Troisvierges and Clervaux, the nearby Our valley, the forests and the meadows composing a mosaic of landscapes that one comes from afar to explore and discover thanks to itineraries more or less difficult, and hikes or loops dedicated to mountain biking… all these treasures may be near you tomorrow! Because living in Weiswampach and loving nature goes without saying!

A few hundreds of kilometres from the town, two artificial lakes (each measuring six hectares) are also available for fishing and water sports enthusiasts (swimming, sailing, canoeing). A large hotel complex with a wellness area will open its doors in 2023. Once again, moving to the municipality means enjoying this environment from 1 January to 31 December. And in winter, there are a number of locations that are ideal for cross-country skiing, sledging and sleigh rides.

Culture is not left out either. In addition to the municipal cultural centre and spaces dedicated to the rich network of associations, a visit to the Lancaster Memorial, erected to commemorate the sacrifice of two Allied crews of Lancaster aircraft who fell during the terrible fighting in the winter of 44-45, is a must. The rural museum of the village of Binsfeld will also interest young and old alike: discover the daily life of yesteryear and the thousands of documents and objects evoking the past of the municipality exhibited there...

Real estate prices in Luxembourg: the municipality of Weiswampach

Weiswampach is a rural municipality with many leisure centres, campsites and second homes where property prices remain reasonable compared to national averages... This is the case for built flats (4,516 euros per square metre) or VEFA (4,704 euros per square metre).

The history of the municipality of Weiswampach

At the crossroads of different communication routes and strategically located between the Grand Duchy, Belgium and Germany, Weiswampach was a seigneurial domain dependent on Clervaux until the turn of the 19th century. And until the middle of the 20th century, it remained a rural locality centred on agriculture and the exploitation of the forest.

Hit by the rural exodus at the turn of the 20th century, the town went from 1,700 inhabitants in 1871 to less than 900 a century later. However, in recent decades, it has begun to regain a certain dynamism thanks to the development of its natural heritage: creation of the Our Natural Park, development of infrastructures around the lakes and other leisure facilities......

People now flock here at weekends and during the holidays to breathe the fresh air of the Ardennes. And this revival also revitalized the local economy (craft, local products, tourism), which has had an impact on demography: the population has doubled since 2000.

But for all that, while taking advantage of the proximity of the towns of Clervaux or Troisvierges, the potential remains significant to welcome new inhabitants seeking to live on a daily basis far from car horns and buildings... Is this your case? So think about it! Weiswampach might be the right bet.
